It’s a “witch hunt”. This is how the former president of the United States described his imputation. Justice accuses the Republican of making a payment as a bribe to the porn actress Stormy Daniels. In addition, he has called on his followers to take to the streets and protest. He will be booked, fingerprinted and mugshot taken next Tuesday.
According to the indictment, the former president paid $130,000 to the actress for her silence after having maintained sexual intercourse with her in 2006. Known as ‘Stormy Daniels,’ Stephanie Gregory Clifford she was raised in Louisiana. As detailed by ‘The Gardian’, her main hobby was horses. Meanwhile, she worked in strip clubs.
After passing through these clubs, Stormy Daniels began to act and direct pornographic movies. She decided to use this pseudonym ‘Storm’ after the daughter of Mötley Crüe and Nikki Sixx. The surname ‘Daniels’ is due to the well-known Jack Daniel’s whiskey.
A golf tournament in California
It was in a golf tournament of celebrities in Lake Tahoe (California) in 2006 when the porn actress met Donald Trump. Her role was to greet and congratulate the competitors. The Republican invited her to a private bungalow of his in Los Angeles, where they allegedly had sex.
At that time, Trump was already married to Melania. The meeting would have occurred just four months after their son was born Baron. The former president promised Stormy Daniels to participate in the program ‘The Apprentice’. This never happened. Prosecutors in the case denounce that in 2016 Trump paid him $130,000 for his silence.
Michael Cohen, a lawyer at the time for Donald Trump, was the person who made the payment. Cohen pleaded guilty two years later to violating electoral campaign finance regulations for buying the silence of women who had alleged relationships with the then still president and was sent to prison.
